While we aren't sure when we'll be back in the Library with all of you, we are preparing for that to happen. Currently, all materials checked out are now due on dates beginning June 2, 2020;
the Library has 3,753 items out in the community.
What you can do now:
- Log into your library account and check your due dates; get started at the My Account link at www.goffstownlibrary.com.
- Look out for emails that will be sent prior to June 2; please add library@gmilcs.org to your email address book.
- Plan to return materials on the exact day they are due if possible; we do not have the capacity to accept hundreds of items at once and quarantine them safely for our staff prior to cleaning and reshelving.
Please know:
- During this time, no late fines will be added to your account for overdue items, and you can return materials when the Library reopens with no penalty.
- Our staff continues to work from home and misses you all. We're all anxious to get back to work together!
- We continue to monitor email at goflib@goffstownlibrary.com for assistance with account questions, and our online resources & services.
- The chat service is available at www.goffstownlibrary.com, monitored by Michelle and Elizabeth.
Up-to-date information will be posted at www.goffstownlibrary.com, and through social media. If you have any other questions, please reply to this email or send a message directly to Dianne Hathaway, Library Director, at
dianneh@goffstownlibrary.com.
Be well.
